Correction - W116 300SD sold in three MY's ... 1978/1979/1980 - all
w/617.950 engines.... Total of about 25,000 were brought into US.
It was a US only configuration. I've heard of some Germans who
bought them here and had them shipped back to Germany. That info is
anecdotal, however
I can vouch for the 100 mph (plus) top speed at about 4600RPM's
across Montana (no speed limit days). In my '80, the IP was
tweaked.......
The Euro headlight conversion was popular with many owners.
The W116 turbodiesel engines produced in 1978-79 were rated at 110 SAE
hp while the '80 engines were rated at 120 SAE hp (all were 617.950
engines) and the 617.951/952 engines (used in 123/126 chassis cars) were
rated at 123 hp.
